The Kingpin of Wakanda! (Black Panther MDMA #525 Cover)

BLACK PANTHER MDMA #525 Cover

Hello Pulp Friends,

this is the cover for BLACK PANTHER: THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE #525, which debuted at SDCC last week. It will be out in November and will be the beginning of a new arc where T’Challa will be facing the Kingpin (Wilson Fisk), Lady Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, and lots and lots of ninjas.
Just plain old school pulp/noir fun, which I tried to portray in the above 60s style cover.
Hope you guys dig it :)

Cheers,
Francesco

"Dig it" is about as understated as one can be. This is magnificently portrayed. It appears you will be leaving the actual story-telling, that is disappointing. Will you be re-joining the interiors after this arc?
